Beauty and the Beast and Willy Wonka Jr.

Shows continue tonight at 8 p.m., Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. and again next week (Thur-Sat at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.) Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door.

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased in advance at the Center for the Arts, 122 W. Broadway, from 11 a.m.-5 p.m Tues-Fri and 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

The BOX OFFICE is also open at the Playhouse beginning at 6 p.m. each night of each evening performance so you can purchase tickets for that night's show or purchase a ticket for another night's show.

This Disney musical will delight all and is real crowd pleaser. A quote of one patron from Thursday night... "I would have paid $30 to see this."

TRIVIA: How many new faces are seen on stage at Beauty and the Beast?

WILLY WONKA Jr. signups are going on now. This is the youth summer workshop that begins on June 20 and goes for five weeks and ends with performances July 21-24. The musical is based on the movie script that we all know and love. Participants are can be between 9-16 years old.

Everyone who is part of the camp is given a part. Shows will be directed by Sandy Goad and Ronnie Gray. Be an OOMPA LOOMPA ... and learn lots about theater!

TRIVIA answer: After a quick count, there are approximately 19 new faces gracing the Playhouse stage! How awesome is that?
